Game Debuts

Bonsai Slice – ($2.99)

The developers at Playground Theory have hit upon, perhaps, an all-new method of play control that transforms your iPad into a virtual sword that you swing through 3D space. You've got to take a look at it in action here:

Fortuna Magus – ($2.99 Launch Sale, Normally $7.99)

Kemco's latest App Store JRPG describes itself thusly: "In a world where magi are indiscriminately persecuted for their arcane abilities, Amane finds himself on the wrong side of the law when he stands up for Ret – a vagrant magus who helped him out of a scruff. Now on the run, will Amane and Tia ever be able to find their missing father?"

9 Elefants – ($2.99)

When a renowned professor goes missing in 1920s Paris, it's up to you to guide two investigators through 200+ puzzlers to find his kidnapper and rescue him.

Get behind the wheel of a car and bash a gigantic soccer ball into a goal – before your opponent can do the same to you.
